SharePoint Custom Result Sources
Show Google News Search Results.
Search is an integral part of our lives. One may search for a good home in a good place, good job with high pay,good people, good clients, good projects and many more. Most of what we want can be found on Earth itself.
Sometimes, we need to search in external sources which is why NASA and SpaceX are exploring space.
SharePoint Search is fantastic and secure and more than enough many times. However, there are times, when you want to search for data outside SharePoint. Just as gold can be found outside earth.Elon Musk recently tweeted on the asteroid arrival and NASA later plans to explore the asteroid for the availability of gold and platinum. The limitations of gold and other long lasting materials on earth can be overcome by availability of them on other planets or space.

SharePoint Search can be customised to allow you view results from external sources. Suppose you want to view the News results on your SharePoint page, what are the steps?
1. Create a new Custom Result Source from Search Settings page
2. Create a new Wiki page and add Search Box and Search Results web part. Make sure you customise the results to show only the data from Google News and not SharePoint.
